The average number of chikoos in Container G, Container H and Container J is 44 and it is 8 more than the average number of starfruits in the 3 containers.
16 of the starfruits are in Container G and the starfruits in Container G is 40% of the number of starfruits in Container H. If each container has the same number of fruits, what percentage of the fruits in Container J are chikoos?
Average number of starfruits
= 44 - 8
= 36
Total number of starfruits
= 3 x 36
= 108
Total number of chikoos
= 3 x 44
= 132
Total number of fruits
= 108 + 132
= 240
Number of fruits in each container
= 240 ÷ 3
= 80

25The number of starfruits in Container G is repeated. Make the number of starfruits in Container G the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Total number of starfruits
= 2 u + 5 u + 5 u
= 12 u
12 u = 108
1 u = 108 ÷ 12 = 9
Number of starfruits in Container J
= 5 u
= 5 x 9
= 45
Number of chikoos in Container J
= 80 - 45
= 35
Percentage of the fruits in Container J are chikoos
=
3580 x 100%
= 43.75%
Answer(s): 43.75%
